Toyota's First Electric HiLux Is Priced for Australia: How to Accessorise the HiLux BEV
CarMoods TeamIt's official: Australia's most popular ute is going electric. Toyota has confirmed local pricing for the HiLux BEV, the first battery-electric HiLux ever sold here, and it arrives as the most expensive HiLux Toyota has ever put on a showroom floor.
Under the tray sits a twin-motor, all-wheel-drive setup producing a combined 144kW and 468Nm, with a driving range anticipated to be up to around 315km. Toyota is aiming the electric ute squarely at fleet buyers first, mining, construction and government, and is forecasting only about 500 sales across 2026 as the rollout begins.
Whether you're eyeing one for a work fleet or watching to see where Toyota takes its electric ute range next, one thing doesn't change: a HiLux is a vehicle you live in for hours at a time. The right accessories make those hours easier, and they carry across every Toyota you'll ever own. If you drive a HiLux, Land Cruiser, RAV4 or any other model, the Toyota accessories collection is built around exactly that.

Why an electric HiLux changes how you kit it out
An electric ute spends its life the same way a diesel one does, long shifts, big distances, plenty of getting in and out. But EV drivers tend to think more deliberately about the cabin, because so much of the experience is about calm, quiet comfort rather than engine noise.
That's where thoughtful, brand-matched accessories earn their keep. A cabin that's set up for comfort and looks tidy makes a work vehicle feel like your own. And because the HiLux shares its interior language with the wider Toyota range, the same upgrades suit a Land Cruiser, a Prado or a Corolla just as well.
Pro tip
If a HiLux BEV is destined for fleet or shared use, comfort accessories that fit multiple drivers, like adjustable neck pillows and universal seat belt pads, get the most out of every seat.
Comfort upgrades for long days behind the wheel
Long hours in a ute are hard on your neck, shoulders and lower back. Two small additions make the biggest difference: a headrest pillow that supports your neck, and padding that stops the seat belt digging into your shoulder.
This matched set is designed for the Toyota range, HiLux included, so it looks like it belongs rather than an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will accessories made for other Toyotas fit the HiLux BEV?
Comfort and styling accessories like neck pillows, seat belt pads and steering wheel covers are designed to suit the Toyota range broadly, so they transfer well across models including the HiLux. For fitted items always check the listing's model notes, and for a snug steering wheel cover, measure your wheel diameter first.
Are these accessories only for electric Toyotas?
Not at all. Everything featured here works just as well in a diesel or petrol HiLux, a Land Cruiser, a RAV4 or any other Toyota. The electric HiLux is simply the news that prompted the guide.
What's the single best first upgrade for a work ute?
For most drivers it's a steering wheel cover for grip and protection, closely followed by a neck pillow and seat belt pad set. Both are low-cost, quick to fit and improve every drive.
Do you have accessories for other brands too?
Yes. CarMoods stocks brand-specific accessories for Toyota, Tesla, BYD, MG, GWM, Chery, BMW, Mercedes and more, so you can match the upgrades to whatever you drive.
